Panathinaikos hosts Baskonia at the Telekom Center for EuroLeague Round 7 (9:15 p.m.), looking to get back on the winning track in Europe.
Zeljko Obradovic has Kendrick Nunn at his disposal; Nunn returned against Peristeri Betsson and is now preparing for his EuroLeague comeback. On the other hand, Kostas Sloukas will sit out as part of his gradual return to action. The “Greens’” captain isn’t dealing with any specific injury, but Panathinaikos doesn’t want to overburden him with back-to-back games.
In addition, Isaac Bonga is returning to action after dealing with a wrist injury, as does Gerson Yabusele, who took a blow to his right shin and did not play in the second half of the game against Peristeri. The injured Nikos Rogavopoulos and Lefteris Mantzoukas are out of the 12-man roster.
As for Baskonia, Velimir Perasović has 11 players at his disposal, as Chris Duarte and Kobe Simmons are out with injuries.
Here are the teams’ lineups in detail:
Panathinaikos (Obradović): Kalaitzakis, Francisco, Bandio, Hayes-Davis, Grant, Nan, Lesor, Yabusele, Bonga, Hernangomez, Mitoglou, Fall.
Baskonia (Perasović): Lawson, Stewart, Joksimovic, Kuruks, Szedekerskis, Spaniolo, Souza-Figueiredo, Bo, Santos, Fries, Farid.
